It is an important topic and one that we need to maintain our focus.

It really was a milestone.

We need to make sure we are not hurting people in the process.

We passed the bill yesterday on the floor.

These children endure terrible conditions to travel across the desert.

We are facing a humanitarian crisis on our Southern border.

These four bills, the Emergency Medical Services for Children Program Reauthorization Act, the Autism CARES Act, the Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization Act, and the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act, all make a…

Respite care is critical--it is a critical resource for caregivers who spend so much of their time helping their loved one through each day.

As families across our nation navigate raising children with autism, the Autism CARES Act will provide hope by authorizing funding for continued research, surveillance, and education at the NIH, the CDC, and HRSA.

I stand ready to work with my colleagues to make sure these programs are reauthorized.

I call up amendment No. 1 to Division A of H.R. 3055. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 18, line 10, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $2,500,000)''. Page…

Look, I can't afford to see your patients.

I made note of the fact that we had left out an incredibly important piece of the conversation, Medicaid in the United States' territories.

We need to be mindful of their inhabitants' access to healthcare.

It is critical that we act in a timely manner to reauthorize this funding.

I would like to thank Chairwoman Eshoo for her commitment to hold this hearing.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of Division E (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. Each amount made available…

It is absolutely critical that States have the ability to choose their Title X grant recipients, that we have that diversity and options for women.

So according to the April 2019 Title X directory, Texas has two grantees and 34 sub-recipients. Do you anticipate that this new rule will attract new grant applicants?

Would you be concerned at all that abortion is a large enough percentage of the business of some grantee services that they would just simply pull out of Title X?
